Psalm 144:1{A Psalm of David.} Blessed1288be the LORD3068 my strength,6697{Heb. my rock} which teacheth3925 my hands3027 to war,7128{Heb. to the war, etc.}and my fingers676 to fight:44212 My goodness,2617{Or, my mercy} and my fortress;4686 my high tower,4869 and my deliverer;6403 my shield,4043 and he in whom I trust;2620 who subdueth7286 my people5971 under me.
3 LORD,3068 what is man,120 that thou takest knowledge3045 of him! or the son1121 of man,582 that thou makest account2803 of him!
4 Man120 is like1819 to vanity:1892 his days3117are as a shadow6738 that passeth away.56745 Bow5186 thy heavens,8064 O LORD,3068 and come down:3381 touch5060 the mountains,2022 and they shall smoke.62256 Cast forth1299 lightning,1300 and scatter6327 them: shoot out7971 thine arrows,2671 and destroy2000 them.
7 Send7971 thine hand3027{Heb. hands} from above;4791 rid6475 me, and deliver5337 me out of great7227 waters,4325 from the hand3027 of strange5236 children;11218 Whose mouth6310 speaketh1696 vanity,7723 and their right hand3225is a right hand3225 of falsehood.8267
Psalm 144:9 I will sing7891 a new2319 song7892 unto thee, O God:430 upon a psaltery5035and an instrument of ten strings6218 will I sing praises2167 unto thee.
10Itishe that giveth5414 salvation8668{Or, victory} unto kings:4428 who delivereth6475 David1732 his servant5650 from the hurtful7451 sword.271911 Rid6475 me, and deliver5337 me from the hand3027 of strange5236 children,1121 whose mouth6310 speaketh1696 vanity,7723 and their right hand3225is a right hand3225 of falsehood:826712 That our sons1121maybe as plants5195 grown up1431 in their youth;5271that our daughters1323maybe as corner stones,2106 polished2404{Heb. cut}after the similitude8403 of a palace:196413That our garners4200maybe full,4392 affording6329 all manner of store:21772177{Heb. from kind to kind}that our sheep6629 may bring forth thousands503 and ten thousands7231 in our streets:235114That our oxen441maybe strong to labour;5445{Heb. able to bear burdens, or loaden with flesh}thattherebe no breaking in,6556 nor going out;3318 that therebe no complaining6682 in our streets.733915 Happy835isthat people,5971 that is in such a case:3602yea, happy835isthat people,5971 whose God430is the LORD.3068
